hat increasing the price of cigarettes is one of
the most effective ways to reduce smoking, especially among children and
pregnant women. Studies show that every 10 percent increase in the price of
cigarettes reduces youth smoking by about 6.5 percent and overall cigarette
consumption by about 4 percent. In recent years, every state that has
significantly increased its cigarette tax has enjoyed significant increases
in revenue even while reducing smoking.

Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United
States. In Oregon, tobacco use claims 5,000 lives each year and costs the
state more than 1.1 billion annually in health care bills, including $287
million in Medicaid payments alone. Government expenditures related to
tobacco amount to a hidden tax of $587 every year on every Oregon
household. While Oregon has made progress in reducing youth smoking, 17
percent of Oregon high school students are still current smokers, and 5,300
more kids become smokers every year.
